I hope amd/ati continue on this path with o.c. working on both cards from the release, and quick bios fix like this... to reward their hard work I am going to buy a couple. heck ,I may get three for tri-fire.

Same here, and under 41C load @860MHz with my Accelero S1 + 140mm Yate. I think this chip has a ton of headroom. Trying to be patient, but that bios is just there mocking us :ROTF:

Well either way, ill be away for the next 2 days for Thanksgiving holiday, so hopefully that will take my mind off this until the weekend

Hmmmm... I coulda swore I reposted it. Oh well.
Thanks Jup.

Hopefully the His or Sapphire cards come back in stock sometime soon, when I'm not working, so I can grab one.
Excited to see how far these can be pushed on a chilled H2O setup or for those crazys that work with DICE.

Anyone know if a 600W PSU will power two hd3870's in xfire? its coupled with an x2 6000+, 1 360GB hdd, 2 DVD drives????

And how does the S1 sit with the stock ramsinks?

A solid 600W will be fine since these do not suck nearly as much power as the 2900XTs. I highly recommend the Corsair 620HX if you are looking for a very solid / modular 600W supply. One gigantic +12v line and it wont flinch even with quadcore systems

The S1 clears the Stock Ramsinks fine. I kept all the sinks (memory, vreg) except for the main gpu hs. The biggest drawback is you won't be able to use the cooler in a crossfire setup since its wayy too big and blocking the connectors. I wrote up a mini-review if you are interested in seeing the temps I am getting with the S1. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=166432

I'm running on 600W OCZ SXS and slightly overclocked 6000+. On top of that 400GB Samsung, 2x40GB IBMs, SB Audigy, 4 fans, card reader, DVD RW, so on...

All that when OCed can pull 470W max under heavy load. Mind that CPU @3500 1.5V, mem @2.32V, both cards @860/2400!!

Hope that this will help... :up:

Another question if you dont mind :D i'm just trying to decide what kit i need for upgrade to crossfire 3870's, do you reckon i should go for:

MSI K9A Platinum Crossfire (Socket AM2) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...d=5&subcat=808

or...

Asus M2R32-MVP Crossfire (Socket AM2) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...d=5&subcat=808

Thanks in advance :)

mattmartineau88

the

MSI K9A2 CF AMD 790X (Socket AM2) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...d=5&subcat=808

- AMD® Phenom/Athlon/Sempron CPU.
- HyperTransport 3.0 supporting speed up to 2600MHz
- AM2 CPU supports HyperTransport 1.0
- AM2+ CPU supports HyperTransport 3.0
- AMD® 790X and SB600 Chipset
- Supports Dual DDR II 533/667/800
- 1x PCI Express x16 slot with x16 operation

Just assumed it would be better to get a gfx with full bandwidth on the PCI-E??
